After having spent 3000 gold over the last few months, I'm currently at 28g only.
According to "I need the money", the vendor money of 2hander dungeon weapons is 5-6g, almost 25% of my current reserves. I guess I can be excused to need every single Omokk's Fist or such in any dungeon farm run since my team mates likely have 100+ gold. I need the gold d00d, dem enchants are expensive, you don't.
"Need the money" is by definition an admission you're just a shitty petty person.
Passing valuable BoE just because some guy can equip it is same as giving him gold. Nothing wrong with that. Quite noble actually. But to be expected to pass gold to some random just because you play with him for 30minutes is wrong.
And if you bring up "BoP and BoE is the same" nonsense you are a moron, simple as that.
The only difference that exists between needing BoP items you won't use, and needing BoE items you won't use is the monetary amount you can cash in from them. BoP will always give a flat moderate amount, BoE items have a wide range of potential cashing value from just vendor price for greens to hundreds of gold.
Monetary amount is incidental, it doesn't change the principle. Like I said before, the need and greed system is designed to include items worth 20s to items worth 1 million gold. Need if you use, greed if you cash in on them, it's simple. Adding an artificial threshold of "past a certain cashing value, you should need" it's just catering to human petty greed.
But you are right though, it boils down to a difference in character. What you condone is the same reason why corpse scavengers have existed for millenia: A good deal people will have no respect for anything and just take as much as they can, even when they don't deserve it. Just like weasels.
I am glad to be able to look at folks like you, see their tiny petty souls reflected in their eyes, and smirk. Like trash beneath one's boots.
